I was looking for defined directions but I kept getting confused by the way the text was written, It was hard to determine whether what was being discussed was the correct way or an alternative way of interpreting scripture. The object I think of the book was to simplify but the way it was written left a lot of confusion to me. For the right person this may work, but for me, it did address what i thought from the description.
